Caleb Michaels

Caleb's got a lot on his mind. He's got a beach house he needs to figure out what to do with. He needs a new job, because working at the auto shop just reminds him of Michael too much. He's recently dropped off a letter to that weird mailbox in the park, breaking up with Adam, and he's still not sure if that was right or decent.

So he's at the gym, where he knows he can go to blank out his mind. Normally, he'd play football, or he'd hang with Adam — Neil, here, because Neil has been the closest to that green place he's been in since he'd gotten to Darrow, but that's... that's one of the things he's working on. The gym is the next best thing to both of those. He's been using some of the different machines, and now he's headed to the bench press so he can work on that.

He's sweaty; he's been at this for over an hour, and he should stop, soon, but he can't get his head to quiet down. He looks around as he settles on the bench, and sees someone nearby doing free weights. They're buff, and they look like they're nearing the end of their reps, so Caleb doesn't feel so bad when he nods in their direction.

"Hey, mind spotting me?" he asks.
